Assignment - ICA 100% WSN Network design and security
Network protocol and Infrastructure For a Wireless Sensor Network
Task Requirements
AMY Networks is a consultancy business that designs, installs and operates different types of wireless and wired networks for businesses and research organisations. As one of their project leaders you have been asked to respond to an ITT (Invitation to Tender) for this network design. The network solution will include the wireless sensor network logical design along with protocols specifications.
The ITT document is included with this ICA. The tender that you produce in response to the ITT should take the following form.
Part 1 - Design
You need to respond to the ITT with following documents: -
• Logical Design: Wireless sensor network.
o Logical layout and implementation of the WSN deployment (You must show the overall connectivity between the different network elements).
o Design and implement an addressing scheme for WSN(for example IPv6 equivalent). You can use Packet tracer to implement the IP scheme.
Part 2 - Design Report (4000 words)
The report must provide
• Description for the protocols you have chosen for the wireless sensor network and how they will prolong the network life time (Restrict discussion to Routing, MAC and Physical Layer) (20%).
• Enhanced security solution for the network including identification and mitigation of the security risks (30%).
• Conclusion/Reflection:
- Realistic and insightful conclusions drawn from the research.
- A full discussion about the nature of future developments should be included (10%).
The discussion should include a plan for integrating the different network protocols into the new network design. Your discussion must be supported by published research or simulation.
Part 3 - Presentation
